So I've measured my truck several times on different surfaces with the same results. Ground to wheel well is off quite a bit. Here's the measurements:

FRONT Driverside- 37" Passenger- 37.5"

REAR Driverside- 39.25 Passenger - 38.25


I've measured with full and empty tank. Still the same. What gives?

I just purchased a roadmaster active suspension and I'm wondering if I should set each side to a different tension to even the read out a bit. I also plan on installing bilstein 5100s up front.

Any ideas?

It's normal.
Your truck isn't perfectly balanced side-to-side, front-to-rear.
If you've ever heard of 'corner balancing', it's when they weigh all four corners and adjust accordingly. Primarily on race cars, but obviously if you don't like the way yours is, change it.

Is it safe to try and change it? And what would be the best ways? The fact that its higher on opposite sides bothers me. It appears almost level on One side and a 3" rake on the other.
